Deputation to Toronto Police Services Board re: community contacts policy - April 24, 2014
We thank the Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) for listening to concerns raised by the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) and other advocacy and community groups in previous deputations. In particular, we acknowledge that the TPSB has set out a definition of public safety as well as disciplinary measures in the event that the policy is breached.
However, we have concerns about the policy as drafted, including those described below.
